Hi Cal,

I updated FreeIPA Trac front page, to help you (and others) more with filing
bugs against FreeIPA, whether it is about downstream (RHEL, Fedora) bugs or
upstream tickets:

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/wiki

Bugzilla links already contain direct links with product a component specified
to make your job easier. But if you do not have RHEL subscription or bug is
Fedora specific, filing Trac ticket is the best first step to do.

Please file upstream ticket(s) for these. If you want to speed up resolution of
the feature requests or bug reports, the most effective way is to provide
patches or other help as there are thousands of requests filed against FreeIPA,
but only limited number of developers working on them.

Thanks,
